Achieving impossible things

Personally, I can't bear the thought of being average. I desire for each of my clients to see themselves as exceptional, too!

Although our physical goals require attention to training and nutrition, it is the two inches above the eyebrows that count the most in the overall scheme of things. Let's talk about 'deliberate success'.

There is a simple rule that we can ask ourselves everyday: "How does this action move me toward my goal?"

Simply stated, if the action doesn't, why are you doing it? Is it peer pressure, old habits, or uncertainty of your goal?

At first, this process may be frustrating because of the many 'voices' shouting in our heads--old records and negative self-talk, etc. However, as you practice, you will see how this can be an effective tool in every area of your life. This tool also helps to transition you from having to resist things to the point of not even contemplating them. This is why cravings will disappear faster as you rise above the unproductive mindset that dominates the Western culture that bombards us at every turn.

It will cause the difference between watching The Biggest Loser and actually getting your own body moving every day for 20-30 intense minutes...

It will make the difference between being another overweight statistic at work-to being the one who passes on the piece of birthday cake...

It will cause the difference between spending time on Facebook everyday but complaining about having time to exercise-to seeing your body change before your eyes...

It will be the difference between stopping when you're out of breath or your legs are hurting-to pushing past your current limits and getting the results you've always wanted...

It is the difference between being committed, rain, snow or sun-to looking at your flabby body in the mirror...

...the difference between average and exceptional!!

As stated above, this question applies to every area of life, not just training and nutrition.

To choose this habit of questioning is choosing a future of clarity, a purpose, and plan of action...and many incredible experiences ahead!

I love my clients and I love my work. Here's to achieving those impossible things...
